Helmet shape is the biggest change you can make for noise reduction.
Not just 'I have a Bell head, Shoei head etc- as there are differences between models and even different sizes of the same model.
Go to http://www.Lidpicker.com - They have a kit that is a caliper and tape measure. They then give you a report of a bunch of different helmets with details on why or why not it fits YOUR head. They then give you a discount towards buying a helmet if you want.
I did this- and the best helmet for my head came out to be a Shoei Qwest- which is good because it is also regarded as a 'safe' helmet.
I installed the chin skirt, swapped the cheek pads for the next thinner size, and put in the optional pads that fill the speaker holes. I also wear Pinlok ear plugs.
